House Amendment 001

Provides that out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions, and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used only if other appropriate and available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the student's continuing presence in school would either (i) pose a threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the operation of the school (instead of only if the student's continuing presence in school poses a threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of the school community or substantially disrupts, impedes, or interferes with the operation of the school and other appropriate and available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been exhausted); makes a related change. Provides that school officials shall make all reasonable efforts to address such disruptions to the greatest extent practicable.

Senate Amendment 002

Provide that out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions, and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used if the student's continuing presence in school substantially disrupts, impedes, or interferes with the operation of the school and other appropriate and available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been exhausted. Provides that "substantially disrupts, impedes, or interferes with the operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case basis by school officials.

Senate Amendment 001

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the School Code. Makes changes concerning student discipline policies and the parent-teacher advisory committee; the creation of memoranda of understanding with local law enforcement agencies that clearly define law enforcement's role in schools; what a written expulsion or suspension decision must include; the use of school exclusions by school officials; a prohibition on zero-tolerance policies; when out-of-school suspensions of 3 days or less may be used; when out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions, and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used; the provision of appropriate and available support services; the re-engagement of students; the opportunity for a student to make up work; professional development on the adverse consequences of school exclusion and justice-system involvement, effective classroom management strategies, culturally responsive discipline, and developmentally appropriate disciplinary methods that promote positive and healthy school climates; a prohibition on school officials advising or encouraging students to drop out voluntarily due to behavioral or academic difficulties; and a prohibition on issuing a monetary fine or fee as a disciplinary consequence. Effective September 15, 2016.
